Dindigul (TN), Sept 05: Five hundred members of various Muslim organisations were detained on Friday when they attempted to block a procession taken out by VHP in connection with immersion of Lord Vinayaka idols here.

Police said the trouble broke out when members of the organisations, including Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam, attempted to stop the procession near a mosque and miscreants pelted stones.

Police made a lathicharge and took the protesters into custody. A police constable was injured in stone-pelting, they said.

Tension prevailed in the area where 1,500 policemen had been deployed in view of its sensitive nature.

Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh (CHAKRA) – There were Hindu – Muslim riots on the issue of installation of Ganesh idol at Ujjain. Two persons were killed and many got injured during these riots. Curfew has been imposed in the jurisdiction of 9 police stations in the city.

The trouble began on Friday night in the Daulatgunj old town area of Ujjain after a Hindu shop-owner installed an idol of Ganesh at his store, which is adjacent to a mosque. Police said that some members of the Muslim community objected to it since the idol is un-Islamic and was near the Mosque where Muslims were praying. Although the idol was on the shopkeepers property, police urged the shopkeeper to shift the idol to another spot to calm the Muslim mob.
